VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Hanging from the rafters at Vancouver's Rogers Arena is one banner that stands out among the rows of Canucks-colored banners for retired jersey numbers and regular-season honors.
It's white with a red maple leaf above the words, "VANCOUVER - 2010 HOCKEY GOLD MEDALS - MÉDAILLES D'OR DE HOCKEY," a reminder of the men's and women's teams both winning gold on home ice over the U.S. in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Sidney Crosby doesn't exactly need to be reminded.
"Every time you come back it crosses your mind," Crosby told me of the feeling in playing in Rogers Arena.
